Etymology

The place was first officially mentioned as Bherum Buer in 1552. Later names were Behrumsbuhr and Berumbuer. In the name of this settlement, the Proto-Germanic root *būr- appears twice: in the defining word as an umlauted Old Frisian form bēre, in the base word as Middle Low German būr. The meaning is "farming community belonging to Berum".
